The plane is 19 years old and arrived in Israel in 2016 from Australian airline Qantas. It has undergone special renovations according to Israel's Channel 12. Among the new technologies reportedly installed are defense systems against cyberattacks and missiles.

The plane also includes a study room, a bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen, as well as a meeting room equipped with encrypted satellite communications systems.
